G.A. Braun Receives Patent for Washer-Loading System

Designed to help improve safety for manual wash aisles

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — G.A. Braun reports that it has received a patent for its Manual SafeLoad System®.

The Manual SafeLoad was designed to support the loading of washers in a manual wash aisle-operating environment. Braun says the system removes the potential for serious injury to the operator from pushing bags into a moving washer cylinder.  

“Laundry operators and suppliers are working together to improve wash floor safety,” says Braun President Joe Gudenburr. “We take safety very seriously and have imbedded it into the design and operational criteria for all of our products.”  

The company points out several key design features of the Manual SafeLoad, including that it is a solution for manual washrooms with rail height restrictions, and it adjusts for varying washer heights for Braun and non-Braun machines. In addition, the prime mover is equipped with a horn and a built-in backup crush provision, and it plugs into a standard electrical wall outlet for recharging.

This product complements Braun’s other patent-pending safety solutions, including the SafeLoad Shuttle System®, the company says.
